Evan Bourne (w/ Kofi Kingston) vs. Epico (w/ Primo & Rosa)
Tie-ups to start, followed a great hurra canranna, which sends Epico to the floor. Bourne hits a baseball slide, separating Epico from Primo who was coming over to help. Epico takes his time to get back in the ring to regroup, and then takes over the match with a double underhook suplex. Epico with a few shoulders to the kidney’s, and goes for huge suplex, but Bourne knees out of it (while being upside down), hits the ropes, and Epico hits a backbreaker for 2. They cut to Rosa who is doing a very nice shimmy (she was my favorite from that last Diva Contest class). Epico locks in a submission across his back (looks like a Tarantula meets the Widows Peak). Bourne rolls out of the submission, gets a quick 2, then kicks Epico in the head. Bourne goes up to the top, and hits the double knee. Bourne goes back up for the SSP, but Primo distracts him, Kofi runs over and hits a splash off the steps to take out Primo. Epico is back up, but Bourne with a kick to the side of his head, then hits the SSP for the win.
Winner – Evan Bourne
Mason Ryan vs. JTG
Scott Stanford quote of the night: “If there was a Mt. Rushmore of Fresh, it would be RUN DMC & JTG.” Mason overpowers JTG to start. JTG attempts a crossbody, but Mason catches him and hits a fallaway slam. Mason tries to beat down on JTG in the corner, but the ref pulls him off, and JTG is able to dropkick Mason in the knees. JTG continues to work over the knees. JTG locks in a side headlock, and Mason fights out, and hits a back body drop, then a big boot, then a Full Nelson slam for the pin.
Winner – Mason Ryan
Yoshi Tatsu vs. Tyson Kidd
Yoshi sends Kidd to the floor early, and attempts a Suicide Dive, but Kidd greets Yoshi with a kick to the face. Kidd takes complete control of the match by locking in a Dragon Sleeper. Yoshi turns the Dragon Sleeper around, but Kidd flips out of it. Kidd goes for a dropkick, Yoshi catches him and catapults him into the turnbuckle. Yoshi then hits a series of kicks, then goes to the top rope. Yoshi goes for the flying heel kick, but Kidd rolls out of the way. Kidd goes for a springboard moonsault but Yoshi dodges it, and hits a straight kick to the back of the head for the pin.

Huge “USA USA” chants from the crowd. Zeke completely overpowers Mahal. Mahal tries to kick out Zeke’s knees, but Zeke catches on and shoves him through the ropes. The ref backs Zeke away, and Mahal attacks. Mahal hits a swinging neckbreaker followed by a Side Russian Leg Sweep. Mahal holds down a headlock, clearly working over Zeke’s neck to set up the Camel Clutch. Mahal with a series of kicks to the face. Zeke works out of another headlock, and slams Mahal in the corner, and then hits a series of body slams. Zeke goes for the Torture Rack, but Mahal slides out, and sends Zeke shoulder first into the corner.
